Duets. all delicate and perfect as if hand
painted. These India silks are very
economical dresses to buy, as they will
endure very hard wear and always look
fresh and pretty, and they are suitable for
general indoor wear early Ill the season
and outdoor later on, and by the addi-
ton of many of the dainty accessories
of Il lady's toilet they can be made suf1i-
GENTLY dreSsy for quite ceremoniOus oc-
casions. No lace, or very little, is used
to trim these dresses, velvet and rib
bons having replaced them for this pur-
pose. Another style has alternate satin
and plaid stripes not over an eighth of
an inch wide, and the pattern is spots
measuring about half an inch
across and placed at intervals
of less than an inch, the in
tervening spaces having tiny diamonds
in lighter shade of the color in the
spot. Brown, red and blue are the ia
vorite colors of these patters, and the
grounds are cream, ecru, and Il faint
yellowish-gray tint. In these, as in 9th
ers, an ombre effect is produced by the
weaving.
The newest embroidered flouncings
or skirtingS of thin materials have the
instead of the pronounced outside
of previous seasons. The pat
tiers are chiefly floral, the same de-
sign repeated in smaller sizes toward
the top. Other patterns are in stripes
and plaids, formed of embroidery in in
SertiOn style, and the newest have much
open-work, through which the f0unda-
ton skirt is visible, which is very effec-
tive when color is used for it. White
jacobnet and nainsook are embroidered
in colors, or have color inter-
mixed with the white or cream
embroider, as heliotrope, brown. pink
or blue, maize, or pink Cham
berry, are embroidered with white, and
Dark blue and red Bingham and Cham
berry come in the same style; also red
embroidered with blue and blue with
red. 1t is woman'S first duty
TO MAKE HERSELF ATT RA GIVE.
Some spiteful old maid, anxious to
level all distinction, must have invented
the dress-reform underclothes, espec-
tally that great combination of skirt,
pantaloons and petticoat. Certainly the
Venue de Medici would be ruined in
such rig.
''They are so economical: save so
much washing" said Mrs. Chump.

those things?'

No, my dear wives, if pink silk under
wear is becoming to you, put it on. Il
